Community First Saturdays

Held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month, October through June, Community First Saturdays features family-friendly activities while showcasing vibrant Downtown Jacksonville.

The event offers yoga, tai chi and other fitness classes along the river. Varying month-to-month, some of the other activities include bike tours, eco-tours on the St. Johns River, activities for kids, and dining and beverages along the river.

The Feb. 2 and March 2 events are held on Coastline Drive (map) at the east end of the Riverwalk. There is ample parking in the old courthouse parking lot, metered street parking and bike valet available on site, all free of charge. JTA has also generously activated the Skyway for free, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
